CURATED supports + celebrates the artists & artisans, producers & provedores we meet on our travels as well as design, style & fashion that inspires us from around the world – each with a nod to the love of COUNTRY life + STYLE. From locals we know, to creatives in faraway places, CURATED brings you the essence of grounded, soulful, country luxury & living.
Today’s Leather+Wood edition of CURATED celebrates quality handmade bits ‘n’ bobs + beads ‘n’ bangles with a special nod to Kyneton’s inaugural Lost Trades Fair and the amazingly talented, passionate, authentic & big-hearted couple driving it: Lisa + Glen Rundell of Rundell & Rundell in Kyneton!
The gorgeous collection curated for Leather+Wood showcases Lisa’s very own handmade sustainable necklaces; including Alder wood beads that Lisa paints and threads onto hand-cut leather strands as well as her brand new range of leather bunting necklaces that Lisa makes from leather offcuts and rivets leftover from her amazingly popular leather bags. And, of course, we’ve included an irresistible stack of handmade wooden oval shaker boxes in which to store all your handmade loveliness!
The Lost Trades Fair is being held this weekend 15 & 16 March from 10am to 4pm in the grounds of the Kyneton Museum. Entry by gold coin donation. I hope you find yourself at the Lost Trades Fair and make sure you find your way up Piper Street to Rundell & Rundell’s heavenly artisan store.
Enjoy! x
